LILIYA ZALEVSKAYA
Collective Artist
July / August 2018
Liliya Zalevskaya is a visual artist born in Kiev, Ukraine. As a young teenager, her family immigrated to America, as the Soviet Union fell apart. This continues to inform her interest in how social structures are perceived versus how they are experienced by the individuals living within them. In essence the work is the artifact of play, through which she interrogates the roles as a maker, actor, director, and editor in the construction of a fantasy that questions reality.
Liliya received a BFA in Printmaking from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and an MFA in Digital Media from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She currently teaches Printmaking and Digital Photography at Gaston College, Dallas, NC.
